Oh would you look at that? A RINO who's still willing to RINO in 2025.
Yes, Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is standing against the nomination of former military officer Pete Hegseth's nomination to the Defense Secretary position because the leftwing cancel mob smear job did its work.
Here's some of her statement on X:
Since Mr. Hegseth's nomination last November, I have met with him and carefully reviewed his writings, various reports, and other pertinent materials. I closely followed his hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee and gathered substantial feedback from organizations, veterans, and Alaskans. After thorough evaluation, I must conclude that I cannot in good conscience support his nomination for Secretary of Defense. I did not make this decision lightly; I take my constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent with the utmost seriousness.
She then thanked him for his service ... and threw him under the bus:
Although he has recently revised his statements on women in combat since being nominated, I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join. Women have served our nation with distinction, overcoming immense obstacles to excel in combat and leadership roles, and they deserve to know that their leader honors and values their commitment to our nation.
While the allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking do nothing to quiet my concerns, the past behaviors Mr. Hegseth has admitted to, including infidelity on multiple occasions, demonstrate a lack of judgment that is unbecoming of someone who would lead our armed forces. These behaviors starkly contrast the values and discipline expected of servicemembers. Men and women in uniform are held accountable for such actions, and they deserve leaders who uphold these same standards.
Unsubstantiated allegations that a Marine vet has a rough and rowdy past are enough to make RINOs cower in fear and not give Donald Trump the mandate he earned?
She is openly hostile to the goals of the Trump administration.
Murkowski thinks Hegseth "lacks judgement" yet had no problem voting to confirm Biden's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who then spent four years weakening and woke-ifying the American military.
The Senate is set to vote on cloture for Hegseth's nomination Thursday afternoon, setting up a likely final vote on Friday. He advanced out of the Senate Armed Services Committee on a party-line vote.
Let's check in on the reactions:
For real, are we going to let a lady who voted for a dozen Biden nominees to lecture others about their "lack of judgement"?
The irony is dripping.
This fake patriotism and polished "reasonableness" BS is so played out. We all see through it.
If Murkowski's defection spreads to some of the other RINOs in the Senate, there could be a real battle.
